Thread: Current ODBC driver fails on Win2K

Current ODBC driver fails on Win2K

From

Hi all,

I had problems yesterday trying to run the ODBC driver on Windows
2000 - it installed OK, but my app (written in Delphi) then failed
with a "Catastrophic failure" message. The same app and the same
driver worked fine on my development machine running Windows Me. I
removed the drived and replaced it with an older version (version
6.5) and it then worked fine.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Which version of the ODBC driver did you install ?
Please try the latest driver at

It was version 7.01.00.09. I'll try the .10 version and see what
happens.

I had virtually the latest version - just one build removed.

I tried these, but had problems getting these to compile on my
system. I found in any case that when I tried to add persistent
fields to my ClientDataSets (at the client end of the app) that it
did not pick up the fields already added to the middle-tier datasets
in the way that you'd expect, so I went back to using Borland's
TQuery and ODBC.

       Anyway, why don't you consider using the
open source ZeosDBO components in Delphi for accessing
a PostgreSQL db, it uses the native libpq and is generally faster.
I do see the reason why you're using ODBC.
